Vong-style Peanut Dipping Sauce

Jean-Georges Vongericten is one of my favourite chefs. His delightfully creative ways with Thai ingredients and French style make for exciting bursting flavours. I first ate at his restaurant, now closed, Vong in Knightsbridge, London. I often dined at this lovely location for several years. Then I was fortunate enough to dine at several of his other restaurants in New York City, Hong Kong, and Chicago.

This is my intrepretation of one of his terrific appetizers-rice crackers/cakes with spicy peanut curry sauce (kao dtang nar dtang).
